| Where to specify allowBinaryCycles=true? [message #30708] |

I'm using Eclipse 3.4 (build id: I20080617-2000) and trying to use the
allowBinaryCycles=true option described in bug 208011
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=208011). The bug report
mentions putting this in the "top level build configuration properties."
Is this the build.properties for a plug-in?
Ultimately I'd like to build an application using the Eclipse Product
export wizard. Is it possible to use this option for that?
I put allowBinaryCycles = true in each of my plug-in's build.properties
files. My plug-ins depend on some binaries (plug-ins in my target
environment) that are contain cycles but none of my workspace plug-ins
contain cycles.
I tried building the product but wasn't able to. I then tried building
a plug-in and got the same cycles error. The plug-in references 17
plug-ins of which only one is a workspace plug-in. That workspace
plug-in has no references.
I've tried searching around for more details on this property, however,
I've only been able to find comments about it being available and how
it's useful and not about the mechanics of using it.
Thanks,
-Ryan Norris

The "top level build configuration" is not available in the UI. It is
part of setting up a headless automated build. During export, the UI
generates this configuration for you behind the scenes.
In 3.4 there is no way to turn on allowBinaryCycles for export, you must
instead set up a headless build.

In 3.5M3, you can use the export wizards in PDE UI to enable this option
(it's actually enabled by default now).

Thanks! I saw that article but unfortunately I haven't switched to 3.5
yet. I probably won't be able to for a while either. It sounds like
the option should be available in my version of Eclipse. I don't mind
manually adding if only I could figure out where.
